Baltimore police are bringing a new robot onto the force to provide some help with harbor searches.

According to city documents, the police department is purchasing a remotely operated underwater vehicle, or ROV, made by Pottstown, Pa.–based VideoRay. The $71, 786 purchase was approved this week by the city’s Board of Estimates.

A police spokesman told the Baltimore Sun, which first reported the story, that the department used the technology after divers tried for two weeks to search the harbor for a man earlier this year. The city put out a request to buy such a device the next month.
